Christine Beatty's autobiography chronicles her surprising evolution as a transsexual woman, her recovery from a life of addiction and prostitution, and her biggest and most impossible seeming dreams coming true. With this memoir she opens a window into a world most people never see and seldom lets go of those who venture in too far.

Told with the unflinching honesty of someone with nothing left to hide, the humor of a survivor who discovers silver linings in darkest clouds and the spirit of a rebel who refuses to be beaten down, Beatty's is a tale of sublime pathos and the triumph of the human spirit.
